Had two males in my yard day before yesterday. Have never had them before. Interesting surprise. Have also had a House Wren hanging around for several weeks. That's different for our area, too. I live in Brookfield in a farmland, open meadow, scrubby area with brooks and ponds. Not too up on what they prefer.
